FREDDY TOLD TO STAY OUT OF TOON

 

1st July 2009

By Jason Mellor

 

FREDDY SHEPHERD faces a Toon Army revolt over his £60m bid to return to Newcastle.

 

Unpopular ex-chairman Shepherd is in advanced talks to take control at St James’s Park for a second time – two years after he was bought out by Mike Ashley – and would make Alan Shearer boss.

 

But St James’s Park regulars accuse Shepherd of sparking Toon’s downward spiral from the Champions League into the ­Championship by sacking Sir Bobby Robson in 2004.

 

Ashley is desperate to end his nightmare stint in charge and is expected to drop his £100m asking price to do business.

 

Influential fans’ website NUFC.com has hit out at Shepherd’s possible return, insisting: “It’d be another backwards step if we’re treated to more ­embarrassing ‘Geordie Nation’ utterances, family members on the board and hangers-on back in the directors’ box.

 

“The club has been without competent management at all levels for decades and that needs to change now.”

 

Want-away Ashley has slashed his asking price from £300m last September to well below the £134m paid by the sportswear magnate in May 2007.

 

:D

Thank fuck.  I can't believe people are actually entertaining this notion.  Shepard has already proven himself a shitty chairman and most of us were glad to get shot of him.  Just because Ashley was a shitt(ier)y owner too doesn't make Shepard suddenly become a good chairman.  Screw your heads on guys.

If you are following the lead of the Daily Star you probably need to screw your own head on to be fair.

I have no clue about anything in the Daily Star, I was merely using their headline as a catalyst for discussion.

I really don't think we're going to do any better than Shepherd, hope if mongs start revolting and boycoutting on SSN that no-one fucking listens to them or we're going to end up being the architects of our own demise, going into next season with no owner and no manager with people dancing in the streets that at least it wasn't Freddy and sure that some Geordie oil baron is coming along soon.

Exactly. If the chioce is Ashley and Hughton or Shepherd and Shearer I wouldn't have to think too long to come to a decision.

Basically let's just get a fucking owner and a manager and start grafting on getting back up, we can start being picky about how fat and obnoxious Freddy Shepherd is when we're a Premier League club and there's a vague possibility of some Arab billionaires giving a shit about us.

The appearance of Shepherd and a mini-entourage at Newcastle's training ground on Monday in two cars emblazoned with the name of his family company sparked reports of imminent regime change but sources say nothing significant is now likely to happen until next week. Moreover Shepherd, despite his high profile, is not thought to be the key figure in the consortium he represents and, although real contenders, they are not the favourites to buy the club.

I usually like the boys at .com but when the national press take the opnions of a couple of lads who run a supporters website and translate it into the opinion of the whole Geordie nation it can piss me off a little.

Seems like the americans are front-runners.

Better them than the mongs Sky TV usually find to represent NUFC. I'm sure they didn't ask to be quoted anyway.

 

I saw some interviews about Shepherd's possible return with people in the street yesterday on BBC local news. One guy said "Shepherd always put his money where his mouth was." How I laughed.
